|Definition=1. A delimiter is a sequence of one or more characters used to specify the boundary between separate, independent regions in plain text or other data streams.[1] An example of a delimiter is the comma character, which acts as a field delimiter in a sequence of comma-separated values. Another example of a delimiter is the time gap used to separate letters and words in the transmission of Morse code.
2. A delimiter is one or more characters that separates text strings. Common delimiters are commas (,), semicolon (;), quotes ( ", ' ), braces ({}), pipes (|), or slashes ( / \ ). When a program stores lots of data it may use a delimiter to separate each of the data values. For example, "john|doe" has a pipe as its delimiter, a program or script could distinguish between the first and last name in a string of text.
